Good morning.

I'm installing a Western Digital drive in an XP Pro box.
(OS is XP Pro). Control panel recognizes the HD. Using
management, rescanning using Diskmanagement/cmd line it
still doesn't see the hard drive.

I've replaced the ribbon.

I have only 1 CD, 1 Floppy, and 1 HD (C) in the computer.
This will be the 4th peripheral.

Anyone have any idea why XP DISK MANAGEMENT can't see the
hard drive (even after rescan) but Device Manager CAN see
it?

PS - All the drivers are up to date.

Thanks

Alan R.
 
Had same problem with second cd/cdrw and second HD install. Problems with the the designation of master/slav
on devices as they did not work the way the manufacturers manuals described. Played with every combo with the pi
and slave master position on shared ribbon until they worked...it took a while and I wasn't really happy with the performance until I reformatted HD and reinstalled Win XP but that may have been due to the virus problems .....Good Luc
PS....working great now...
